Under the Weather? - Serenade

Here's a card I made for Scrappy-go-lucky, the rain clouds are cut from the Serenade cartridge, the umbrella is from Everyday Paper Dolls, and the sentiment is by Inky Antics. The tiny cloud paper is from the Baby Boy pack by Craftwork Cards, and I dotted Robins Eye Dew Drops around to look like raindrops

The inside sentiment is a simple

Get Well Soon

Thanks for all the get well wishes you sent, my back seems to be getting better, although I am moving a bit gingerly at the moment

I had a lovely day yesterday, Jeannie, from Maine, who is a regular visitor to my blog, is on vacation in the area with her husband and son. She emailed me to see if there were any craft stores around here, so I arranged to pick her up and drive her around. She experienced the crafty garden centre, and was like a kid in the candy store, then we went to Hobbycraft (that's the only big box craft store in the UK) All this and a pub lunch too. She was astounded at how easily I negotiated the roundabouts, well, yes, that's sort of second nature when you live here. What should have astounded her, if it had not been our first meeting, was the fact that I didn't get lost once. Mind you, I could have driven to London and back really, and Jeannie wouldn't have known that I was lostIt was great to meet you Jeannie, and thanks for the lovely bag of goodies you gave me xx

Enfys, I had an absolutely brilliant day with you yesterday. I am deeply grateful for the time you took to shop and lunch with me. You are so talented and I am so fortunate!

Enfys, I had an absolutely brilliant time with you yesterday. Thank you for your precious time spent shopping and having lunch with me. I was impressed with the craft stores you have in England. I cannot wait to try out the Promarkers and the layered stamps that you lead me to. I had a huge smile on my face for the remainder of the day. To your blog followers: Enfys is as kind and genuine as she appears on her blog. Jeannie

Cute card and those little dew drops look great. How lovely to meet someone especially all the way from the states, glad you had a great day out. Although you need to take care of your back it is too all to easy to think it is fixed only to find it isn't quite.Kim xXx
